Answer questions below based upon the following information about country A's market
for its importable.
Country A's supply curve: P = 0.5Q
Country A's demand curve: P= 40 - 0.25Q
where P denotes price and Q denotes quantity
Suppose that country C would be willing to export the product to A for $15 per unitwhile country B, the low-cost world producer, is willing to export at a price of $10.
Similarly, let the lines (SB + tariff) and (SC + tariff) denote the domestic price of thproduct imported from countries B and C if the above tariff is imposed, respectively.
